This is incredible, worth looking at in detail ...


I guess everyone has seen The Great Escape at least once.
This is about the tunnel.

It is awesome, the interactive map is also creative,
not nearly as much as the fortitude it took to engineer the escape itself
the animation alone is worth looking at, but the story of the tunnel is amazing.

This was the inspiration for the Steve McQueen movie in the 60's............

This is a fascinating look at a tunnel that was built in a German POW camp.

The tunnel allowed 76 Allied POWs to escape.

Check it out. run your cursor over each number and it will tell you about it.
